Mystery Box found in the attic...

I have so much crap, it just amazes me sometimes. I was putting our Christmas decorations back in the attic a couple of weeks ago and found a 10x10x20 box that was taped up pretty good and had scribbled on it "OLD SPORTS STUFF - EMPTY BOXES, ETC". This thing has probably been up there for 5 or 6 years, but I have yet to open it since getting it down from the attic. Best guess is that the empty boxes go back to the early 80's. Anybody want to call dibs before I begin to rip into it??? image

  • Fantastic, a live rip of a forgotten treasure...maybe that's where you stashed all those soon to be superstars (Greg Jeffries, Hensley Muellens...can't even remember how to spell their names now). Good luck.

    Alright, now that made me laugh. I will not be retiring from my current job.

    The most surprising thing were the empty 1981 Topps FB boxes (there were 4 or 5), I sure don't remember opening that many. Other highlights of my box of empty boxes included 1982 Donruss and Topps BB, a few 1983 Topps BB, a 1981 Donruss Golf, and plenty of other carp from 1984 thru 1995 (1987/1988/89 Topps/Donruss BB - plenty!)...and a Magic Johnson KFC plastic cup from 1991.

    If there is anything that I can get to ya, just let me know. A little help on the shipping costs would be appreciated, but just getting this stuff out of here is a plus!

  • I guess not every forgotten box will hold treasure, Geraldo found that out when he opened Capone's safe......just be glad yours wasn't televised. image

  • QUOTE"" plenty of other carp from 1984 thru 1995""

    Perhaps not all is lost! Carp from those years, if still whole.. can bring some decent coin. I joke

    PS: We have a great hobby, items that give the thrill twice, sometimes more image
    I think I'm going to have my wife wrap a few shoeboxes from my collection so I can have that "What is it" rush down the road.
